TORONTO — It appears veteran Canadian Lirim Hajrullahu is ready to resume kicking duties with the Toronto Argonauts.
Toronto released Canadian rookie Brady Lidster on Wednesday. Lidster, 21, of St. Thomas, Ont., had been handling kicking duties for the Argos since their 24-23 home loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on July 18.
Hajrullahu was unsuccessful on a game-ending 31-yard field goal try in that contest. He also missed a convert earlier.
Hajrullahu missed Toronto’s 26-12 road win over the B.C. Lions the following week but his absence was listed as, “not injury-related” by the team.
